This book is a continuation of a series of peculiar guides to the streets, squares and embankments of St. Petersburg. Today we will talk about Rubinstein Street and the adjoining Grafsky and Shcherbakov lanes. There are not many publications devoted to them, but their history is very interesting and is connected with many generations of Petersburgers who belonged to different estates, nationalities and professions, who lived, served or visited here: military men and officials, merchants and burghers, writers and artists, painters and architects... The stories of more than two hundred and fifty famous people will pass before you, and the authors will try to reveal the secrets that local houses keep. The origin of this small street, stretching for 700 meters from Nevsky Prospekt to the intersection with Zagorodny Prospekt and Lomonosov Street, dates back to the time of Empress Anna Ioannovna! At the turn of the century Rubinstein Street was and remains one of the centers of theatrical and musical life of the Northern Capital. Today, the street continues to live and develop, walking along it, it is as if we are together with you in a European city with different architecture and cuisines of many countries.
